Many summer residents consider zucchini to be vegetables that do not require any care at all.
As practice shows, many people plant them in the far corner of their plot and do not even think about adding fertilizer or watering.
Therefore, it is worth remembering a few tips that will help you get an excellent harvest of zucchini on your plot, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Preparing the soil
Before you start planting zucchini, you need to pay attention to preparing the soil. Ideally, add organic fertilizers to the soil. Of course, this advice can be called basic, but it should definitely be taken seriously.
Choosing a suitable location
Zucchini love sun and warmth, so there should be no trees or buildings near the planting site that could create shade.
It is also worth paying attention to humidity; if after rain the water does not “go away” for a long time, you should definitely abandon such a planting site.
The correct way to plant
Squash that are planted too deeply may have difficulty growing. It is important to make sure that the seeds or seedlings are planted about 2-3 centimeters deep and are watered thoroughly.
Regular watering
Zucchini needs enough moisture to grow well. If they don't have enough water, there's no point in talking about full growth.
Mulching
To retain moisture in the soil and reduce the risk of drying out, you can mulch with straw, hay or grass.
Removing shoots
It is also worth monitoring the number of shoots. If there are too many, the fruits will not develop normally. Removing shoots allows the bushes to form fruits, not foliage.
